PUBLIC HEARINGS Use Permit 79-24 (continued) Appli cant: Locat ion: Request: Wellington Group Northwesterly corner of Irvine Boulevard and Plaza Drive To develop a commercial condominium project. Mr. Brotemarkle advised the Agency that the developer and property owner were presently involved in a legal matter concerning the subject property and had requested a further continuance of Use Permit 79-24 and Tentative Tract #10852 until the matter could be settled.

MOTION by Sharp, SECONDED by Kennedy, to continue Use Permit 79-24 and Tenta- tive Tract ~10852 until thc regular meeting to be held October 1, 1979. AYE S: NOES: ABSENT: Sharp, Kennedy, Welsh, and Schuster None Saltarelli An~ndm~nt to Ordinance No. 510 Mr. Brotemarkle said this amendment was instigated by the memo from the staff and discussion by the Agency in regard to a clarification of the boundaries of the E1 Camino Real design district and a clarification of the parking waiver provision of Ordinance No. 510. Basically, he said, the proposed ordi- nance changes the section concerning fees to waive required parking. Current fee structure would be grossly insufficient to provide future parking facilities. Future fees would be substantial and reduce the dependence on this section while placing more emphasis on an assessment district, ]eased parking, and revisions to increase on-street parking availability. He said staff is cur- rently working on alternative on-street parking plans and should be able to bring something to the Agency in October. He said it might be beneficial to Planning Agency Minutes - September 4, 1979 page 2. continue this matter until the staff has met with the E1 Camino Real business people Septeraber 12 to discuss variou~ parking proposals and have a sense for the direction such parking plan might take. Mrs. Kennedy expressed concern reqarding item SI.B.c. of Reso].tuion No. 1839. Mr. Brotemarkle explained the item would be highly restrictive based on fair market value, including inflationary factors and only make the parking space fees more expensive and thus more prohibitive to use this particular section. We should put more reliance on the power of the Redevelopment Agency and the ~wer of the City to implement a parking program to provide parking through a district and through modifications of on-street facilities rather than on emphasis on a fee program. Too many businesses are relying too much on the fee waiver which is an inappropriate mechanism. C~airman Schuster declared the public hearing open and asked if there was anyone in the audience who wished to speak. Hearing no response he asked the pleasure of the Agency. MOTION by Welsh, SECONDED by Sharp, to continue the public hearing on the Amendment to Ordinance No. 510 to the regular meeting to be held October 1, 1979.
